I am building a computer for the first time and this is the case I went with... It's big and comes apart very easy. It was very easy putting my HDD in with a pull out plastic tray that snap back into place. The cd rom was really slide in until it locks into place very easy! The front of the case and top where the fan is just pull off fairly easy wasn't much of a hassle though I would be careful when picking it up.
The case looks awesome from the outside especially with the LED lights on the fans which can change colors from the light control on top next to the fan controls. One last thing I didn't realize is it has a little plastic piece on the outside by the window to hand a headset which is a plus cause I always use to step on mine!!!
I would be careful when picking it up from the top because they come off pretty easy shouldn't be much of a problem though just pick it up from the bottom.
This case is awesome I was a little unsure of paying the price at first but now that I have it I don't regret spending a single penny on it..
One last thing I don't know if I didn't read right or if I just don't know enough yet but it does not come with a side fan. It comes with 3 fans in it one in the front, one on top, and one in the back. Doesn't matter to me right now though.
This case is MASSIVE! It has space for most any upgrade a computer geek could want to put in it. It is of high quality and it is raised for awesome air circulation. The eSATA, USB 3.0 and plug and play hard drive dock are invaluable. Also, the box is set up for very easy water cooling adaptation.
Out of the box I had problems with the stock fans included, they are both incredibly noisy and they wobble back and forth, creating a "ticking" noise. I thought I could live with it, but as it turns out, it drove me insane. Unfortunately, short of pulling my build apart and sending it back, there is no way to replace these fans as they are not available for retail purchase. I pulled them off and replaced with some aftermarket fans, the adapters for the old fans work, but alas, without case LED control.
Another Problem is the cord management, or lack of effiency. There is a solid attempt, but the back cover fits so tight, you have to smash the cords in the back at the risk of pulling delicate cords out. With such massive amounts of space, why not give me an extra 1/4 to 1/2 inch?
Overall a great box. However, for the price I expect a bit more design planning. If your needs are large volume and great expansion options, this is the box for you.
